Champions League Wednesday Betting Tips PT 1

With today’s Champions League fixtures already looking like they could produce some very memorable matches, the Wednesday fixtures should offer up some great value due to how evenly matched the sides really are. With the first leg of the round of 16 currently underway, teams are scrambling to get the edge in the opening leg and securing that all-important away goal.

In the Wednesday matches, the virtually any side could win - even the underdogs - as there is simply a lot of potential match winners on the pitch at any one time. 

Arsenal take on Monaco and they go into their match as tremendous favourites here with a slim 1/2 price tag to get the better of the Monegasques, who make their first appearance in this part of the competition in quite some time. The side representing everybody’s favourite principality are available at a fairly lengthy 7/1 and that’s actually some solid value - because you never know which Arsenal side are going to show up these days. 

The draw is available at 31/10 and that would be a real disappointment to Arsenal fans thanks to the fact that they must win the first leg in order to have a genuine shot at progressing to the next stage. The fixture in Monaco is going to be quite different from the contest at the Emirates and they will likely need a two goal advantage coming in to feel genuinely comfortable. 

Arsenal haven’t had their annual injury crisis yet so they have a decent chance of pulling this one off. Conceding a goal to Monaco would be an absolute disaster though and it doesn’t seem to be a genuine coin-flip whether both teams will score in this one. The bookmakers firmly expect only one side to score with the “no” option available at an 8/13 price tag while the “yes” option trades at a 6/5 margin.
